Or simply place the following code in your httpd.conf (or similar if not 
using Apache):

<Directory /web/apache/httpd/html/horde>
    <IfModule mod_php3.c>
        php3_include_path '/web/apache/httpd/phplib:.'
        php3_auto_prepend_file /web/apache/httpd/phplib/prepend.php3
        php3_magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php3_track_vars On
    </IfModule>
</Directory>

Can also be placed in a .htaccess file.

Hope this helps.
